I’ve always found people who freak out about AI sentience extremely pathetic. Just absolute baboons who get impressed by mundane shit. I first came across it with the whole “roko’s basilisk” shit and immediately dismissed them as morons, and many years later I’m still validated
:manhattan:
In china, children are limited to only 2 hours of internet for play.
This is why everyone in politics is like 500 years old. If everyone was :caught-in-4che: then people would fall in love and either be manipulated into supporting the enemy's interests, or just make the world peaceful so they can have sex with each other without worrying about nukes
owning a fancy car = you hate the poors
owning multiple mansions, palaces, generational fortune, having millions to even "donate" = lover of the poors
Breaking Bad came out in the late 2000s and this was a time when being "politically incorrect" was epic - and by politically incorrect I mean just punching down and being hateful. Slurs for disabled people were used without any meaningful pushback, and at least in my experience, kids were happily reciting lines from South Park and Family Guy at school and mocking kids from SpEd classes. These things still obviously happen today, but now there seems to be more criticism of when it happens and even the "anti pc" crowd will hesitantly shut up if called out.
Anyway, Walt Jr. has cerebral palsy, but unlike much of the media of the time, he isn't the butt of the joke (aside from that one scene in the store but the bully got his ass kicked) or made cynically by someone who doesn't care or know anything about the disability to get a cheap emotional response from audience. Obviously he doesn't have an identical life to someone who is fully able bodied, but overall he's just a kid with his own angst and goals who just happens to be different. Sometimes he needs assistance, sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes his parents struggle to relate and help him (both for his disability and puberty in general) and that's just life, especially for a lower income family that doesn't have access to all the resources or free time to discuss problems.
I'm not surprised that they made :dean-malice: racist because he's a DEA agent, but rewatching it I'm surprised they didn't make Walt Jr. a caricature because most people wouldn't have bat an eye.
Without a critical anti-imperialist lens it’s just ebib American soldiers blasting away Charlie and his elderly guerrilla mom. But otherwise it’s decent
the only decent Succdem is Corbyn.
Not true. There are decent south Americans ones. They’re usually anti imperialist
Peace Corps has a page dedicated to non white, non straight, non cis, and female volunteers who plan on traveling to Ukraine.
They warn people that you’re likely going to experience racism and all kinds of -phobias, but it’s okay because you’re doing it for a good cause lol.
It is not uncommon for Ukrainians to refer to African-Americans as “[N-Word]”. Volunteers of color may be called 'a monkey' or may see children’s games with Blackface. Being aware of the history of dehumanization for people of African descent may help inform where this comes from
Yeah I’m sure black people who are upset by the N word don’t know the history of dehumanization for black people of African descent
“Why does fascism keep getting normalized and end up killing minorities in churches?!”
Based John Carpenter going after not only a Fr*nch, but also a pedophile
and speaking of serial killers, americans really be watching like the 4904489th documentary on Jeffery Dahmer every few years
there I learned through infographics, shitposts, and memes
These are the same people telling you to read economics 101
This is where all the foreign legion troops are,
They got all the best foreign fighters in a single location? :data-laughing: Wonder of Zelensky will be held responsible for this
the reality of basically being bodies in front of the advancing Russians
“We have more men than they have ammo!”

I only take complaints seriously when they come from people from the global south. I couldn’t care about what some lanyard says on his way to kiss Biden’s feet
